Hi Jared,

Yes you are right!!..you could have re-directed me to google if you
didnt want to give suggestions, Thanks for your valuable reply. But my
question in general is why in some case we assume LD_ASSUME_KERNEL.
are there any particular reason?.

I don't understand this sentence.  It seems to imply that you don't think
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary with 10g.

Yes I thought the same that 10g doesnot require any Kernel assumptions.
Correct me if iam wrong.

reg,
Anand

Rather than cut and paste from Werner's informative website, I will direct
you to google for it. Googling for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL Oracle brought up
the answer in the first 2 hits.

No, Oracle 9 requires this with the 2.6 Kernel.
